The military accidentally dropped one over San Francisco in 1963 during a training exercise. It could really suck to be a POW after one of those has been dropped. After all, why not “save it for the enemy?”

Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A ‘Gay Bomb’! A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS station KPIX-TV in San Francisco that military leaders had considered, and then subsequently rejected, building the so-called gay bomb.
Edward Hammond, of Berkeley’s Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force’s Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, “One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior.”
The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.
“The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another,” Hammond said after reviewing the documents.
“The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soldiers would become gay,” explained Hammond.
The Pentagon told KPIX-TV that the proposal was made by the Air Force in 1994.
Marty had a brillent idea. With how homophobic the islamic world is, we could use this as a propaganda weapon and then bomb them with rainbow panphlets and pink talcum powder. I dont know. A bomb that released viagra in an areosol cloud so the enemy was trying to work with 24 hour hard ons would be pretty debilitating.
